I'm going to be going to Santorini for a couple of days after a small trip to Athens this summer. I've never been before and I really don't know where to start. I'm going to be travelling alone and looking to see the size and pretty much anything that Santorini has to offer. I'm not too picky when it comes to hotels and restaurants, so any advice that you have from your first hand experiences would be great. Also, if there are any extremely touristy areas that I need to avoid during certain times, please let me know.

Don't miss the Akrotiri Archaeological Site, an evening in Oia, visit and winetasting in 2-3 wineries at least, a sunset cruise of the caldera, a hike Fira - Oia! Enjoy your stay

I always make it a point to spend some time in Oia. It's charming! I try to stay in Oia, if possible, but it can be pricey.

I am going to Santorini soon and I love to shop and get gifts for people.
Could anyone suggest the best souvenirs to take home from Santorini that would give a taste of the local culture and charm to friends and family? I'm looking for things that are unique to the island - something you can't find just anywhere else!
Any tips on where to find these local treasures would be super helpful, too.

I love visiting Santorini because to me, it's physically beautiful. I find it enchanting because of how unique the landscape is.
About 3,600 years ago, the island experienced a colossal volcanic event, known as the Minoan eruption. This event was so massive that it significantly altered the landscape, creating the caldera—a giant central lagoon surrounded by high cliffs on three sides. The eruption also played a pivotal role in shaping the ancient civilizations of the area.
Santorini's geological wonders don't stop at the caldera. The island boasts unique beaches with varying colors of sand and pebbles—red, black, and white—thanks to its volcanic nature. Visiting these beaches is like stepping onto another planet.
So, I plan to go again this year and check it out. Some of the places I love are Red Beach, Oia (I plan to stay in Oia), and I love doing that hike from Fira to Oia during sunset.What do you love to do in Santorini?
